Open and Affirming Covenant

We, the members of First Congregational United Church of Christ, Moline, in seeking to share God’s love and to establish greater justice, do affirm

that all people are created in the image of a loving God,

that Jesus Christ calls us to invite all people into our community of faith, and

that the Holy Spirit leads us to be united through our differences.

We, therefore, commit ourselves to an Open and Affirming Covenant with all people regardless of sexual orientation, gender expression or identity. All people are welcome to participate fully in the life of the church, including the rites, sacraments, and leadership of the congregation.
